SHEPHERDSVILLE -- Several roads are slated for resurfacing work through the state’s rural secondary program.

MOUNT WASHINGTON -- While some skaters and bikers may be excited about the construction of the new BMX/skate park, it is still raising some concern from local residents that live near the proposed location.

Tom Burks said he did not like that the bike park would be located between a residential area.

He said he thought there would be a lot of injuries and there’s only one emergency exit.

Burks said he’s lived there for nine years and sees the park continually used by young women and children and grandparents with their children.
